Long before men Learned to NOS. !.
piece OF magnetizcd iron on a pivot To
indicate the north. there were nafnra
eompasses growing on the American
Pra'ries. aud they still flourish in large
numbers as relirb.e guide to travellers
across the American desert They are
peculiar species Of plant, called the
compass pant. the pilot weed, or the
polar plant, and have been known for
generations to the Western hunters. al
though the scientific worl | has known
them but short time. The edp,s NJ
Its leaves are said - be ALWAYS poipted
que north and south. An authority
states: Repeated observations uron
The prairies. with mea ,urements by the
compass OF the directions assumed bv
hundreds OF leaves. especially Of the
radicle ones. have shown that az 10
prevalent position the popular belief
has certain foundation in the fact u
Captain Mayne Rid mentions 1t in
one OF his books as follows: We had !.
guide to our direction unerrine as the
magnetic needle We were trayersino
the region of the polar planet, the
planes OF whose leaves at almos. every
step pointed oIt our meridian. II
grew upon our track, and was crushed
under the hoofs Of our horses as we
rode onward" The traveller Burton
also refers to it: whilst in the damper
ground appeared the polar plant, that
prairie compass the plane of whose
leaf ever turns toward the magnetic
meridian" Another writer saws:
fortunately none go the prairies for
the first time without being shown, in
case OF mishaps. the groups of COM
pass-weed which abound all over the
plains, and the broad fat leaves of
which point due north and south with
an accuracy as unvarying as that of
the magnetic needle i.self.''
Longfellow's "Evangeline" contains
beautiful mention of this curious
provision of nature for guiding the
wanderers who might easily be lost on
The prairie:
Look at this delicate plant that lifts its head
from the meadow
See how It's leaves all point to the north as true
as the magnet:
II Is the compass-fower that the finger of God
has suspended
Here on its fragile stalk to direct the travellers
journey
Over the sea-like, painless, limitIess waste o,
the desert.

FINE TABLE LINEN,



Exquisite Fabrics.
"All the uptown people have their
,wn ideas regarding their table linen. y
said well-known dealer recently.
Nearly all the foreign countries man
fracture table linen. and there is some
made in this country, but there is d
marked difference between the Scotch,
Irish. Dresden, German and French
'loths, which are considered the best
grades. The difference is not only in
exture, but in pattern. The French
10th is most fashionable. 1t differs
rom the others in being of much
lighter texture and more elaborate
decoration. Almost all the cloths have
arge center-pieces.
Two favorite patterns are the Pom
peiian and the Pos Medina. The CEN
,er of the first is filed in with large
square blocks and the border surround
ng it is of triangles. The second is
composed of NJ ,dium sized balls and a
border of larger balls. around which
ire twined myrtle leaves. Another
nuch-used pattern is the Caprice,
which has a perfectly plain center and
surrounded by large flowers. One
# the most expensive patterns is the
Hirondelles. This linen is beautifully
marked. The border is a design of
'ocks out of which are growing cat
ails, while in the center are small
,wallows. The birds are exquisitely
wrought. The feathers on their wings
IRE so true to nature rs to stand out in
l fluffy mass. The cost of set of
.hese, including tablecloth and a
lozen napkins, reaches one hundred
lollars.
In some instances the linen is EN-
lroidered, and this increases the price
'ourteen or fifteen dollars. A late
,raze is for cipher monograms, and
nearly all the linen sent out is embroid-
red in that way. Some of the larger
antilles still stick to monographs, while
theirs of the elder stock insist upon
,aving their coats-of-arms embroidered
horeon. The best French tablecloths
md napkins are nearly all woven at
Sicrre, in France. The work is done
Entirely by hand. The flax from which
he linens are woven comes mostly
from the neighborhood of Coutrai in
Flanders, where fine variety is raised.
It is so long and slender as to require
support while growing. N y Mail

NEGRO CIVILIZATION.
How the Majority of Central Africans Sup
port Themselves.

How the Majority of Central Africans Sup
port Themselves.
The majority of the negroes live on
the products of agriculture and stock
raising. There are no tribes without
agriculture in Central Africa, except
the dwaEish Watwa and Aka.
Though their implements are very
simple. they clear the dense woods
and fence in their fields. Hirse is the
most important grain they grow. 1t is
cultivated in all parts Of Africa
Sorghum. manioc and batatas are
grown in the lower countries, ma re
pulse on the highlands. In Uganda
bananas are the principal food. Stock
raising is the principal occupation of
many East African tribes. The herds
men are frequently warlke nations who
have subdued agricultural tribes. The
Gala, Wahuma, and Watuta have
founded empires of this kind On the
upper Nile the natives are engaged in
both stock-raising and agriculture.
Cattle, sheep, goats, dogs and poultry
are raised by these people.
The most remarkable industry OF
Africa is that OF iron-working, which
is known in all paris, the bushmen
alone being unacqua nted with it when
they became known TO the Europeans.
The Africans know how 10 obtain the
iron from the ores, and manufacture
beautiful implements of it. Besides
iron. they manufacture copper nipple
ments and make copper and iron wire.
The negroes do not know how to tan
skins, but soften them by scraping and
beating; neither do they practice the
art of joining wood; while carving.
plating and weaving are highly de-
veloped.
The civilization of the negroes is MT
at all low one. Their mole of life
their industry. and their political insti.
tutions are ample proof of this. Large
empires founded by men exceling in
intelligence and character, and extern.
sive migrations of energetic nations,
are characteristic of its history. The
observations of all explorers show that
arts and industry are far more deve,.
oped in the interior than near the coast.
Here, as everywhere else, the contact
with nations of higher civilization, the
whites and Arabs. tends to destroy the
native culture. H re the ruthles;
Arabian slave-hunters devastate re-
gions which were hourishing before
their arrival. and the final destiny OF
the Africans will depend to a great ex-
tent on the end of the final struggle
between the whites AID Arabs. SCI.

An Abandoned Railroad.

The unusual sight Of a railroad being
stripped of its trick and abandoned
has been witnessed in OHIO in the cast
